Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
Plt stated that immediately after touchdown, the right wheel seemed to drag. Right drift was initially corrected by use of opposite aileron to reduce weight on right wheel and rudder for directional control. However, as the acft slowed weight settled on the right wheel, the acft swereved to the right and nosed over. Post-mishap examination of acft brake revealed no discrepancies.
